WTYTIAAN Chapter 57

Yan Yunqing watched helplessly as the jugs of wine were depleted one after another, and he couldn’t help but glance at the other person’s abdomen.

Why didn’t it bulge out at all? Was this person’s stomach for drinking like Lillian’s, containing a black hole? Did all the wine and food enter the stomach and get sucked into the black hole?

It was truly incomprehensible.

If this were on Blue Star, and Adrain had his blood drawn, wouldn’t the test results show 99% alcohol and 1% blood?

After drinking two-thirds of it, Adrain finally slowed down, no longer as eager as he was at the beginning.

The young man who brought the wine also breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that this scarred swordsman would start acting crazy on the spot after drinking too much.

Yan Yunqing pushed the snacks in front of Adrain, “Eat something.”

Hurry up and eat some peanuts, he was also afraid of this guy going crazy from drinking. A level 100 swordsman going crazy would be too terrifying, maybe he’d tear down an entire city.

Adrain was very obedient, put down the wine jug, picked up a crispy fried meat stick, and threw it into his mouth. Yan Yunqing didn’t even see him chew it twice before he swallowed it whole.

Yan Yunqing: …

Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t tell me your ancestors have alien blood?”

This eating posture was too much like that of the Dragon Clan, they ate things in such a bold and unrestrained way.

Adrain was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

No.

That’s right, the Dragon Clan was a proud race, not to mention humans, they didn’t even look up to their own kind.

Within the Dragon Clan, if a male dragon wanted to court a female, he not only had to defeat the other competing males, but also the female being courted. Only the strongest warrior was qualified to pass on their offspring.

Because of this characteristic engraved in their genes, the Dragon Clan had always had difficulty reproducing, but they still did not change their desire for strong genes.

As a result, Adrain replied, “I can’t tell you.”

Yan Yunqing: “… Oh.”

Yan Yunqing found that he was speechless too often when facing Adrain.

The way you say that… you might as well just admit that your ancestors were indeed related to an alien race.

Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but look at Adrain with a bit of ‘benevolence’ in his eyes, whose silly son is this? He really felt suffocated for General Sawyer, could this kind of descendant really revitalize the family?

Oh, he’s a level 100 great swordsman, then never mind.

Anyone who disobeys him, or tries to deceive him, would probably be killed by him first, with this kind of strength, he really doesn’t need much of a brain.

Adrain paused, “Do you… know me?”

Yan Yunqing was puzzled, thinking that this guy was going to bring up the acquaintance theory from the inn again, he said listlessly and casually: “I know you, didn’t we just meet in the corridor? I even bought you so much wine.”

“… No, I’m not talking about that.” Adrain was a little tangled, “You, did you know me before?”

Yan Yunqing: ?

Yan Yunqing’s fork paused above a small crispy meat, and asked strangely: “I don’t know you, did you know me before?”

“Um…”

Yan Yunqing was startled, what was going on? Did this guy know him before? How could he not remember meeting this person anywhere before? He had only been transported here for more than a month, not a year, let alone ten years!

“Well, I don’t know you.”

Yan Yunqing: “… Don’t keep me in suspense like that.”

Adrain shook his head, feeling a little confused, “But, I think, you seem a little familiar.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t you think so too?” Adrain asked, “I felt it, at the city gate… the look in your eyes when you looked over, it wasn’t the look you give to strangers.”

Yan Yunqing opened his mouth, completely not expecting Adrain to be so Mind. They were so far apart, and his face was completely covered by the hood, how did Adrain on horseback discover that there was something wrong with his eyes.

“You… you must have seen wrong.” Yan Yunqing explained dryly.

Adrain did not continue to follow Yan Yunqing’s words, but stared at Yan Yunqing for a while, “We really don’t know each other.”

Before Yan Yunqing could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Adrain continue to say: “But we both do feel that the other is very familiar, right?”

“No… I don’t think so at all.” Yan Yunqing denied, he finally explained the reason why he would show that kind of expression at the city gate, “I just vaguely saw the shadow of an old friend in you.”

Adrain was stunned for a moment, just about to open his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Yan Yunqing.

“Actually, you are not alike at all, even the aura around you is different, I just mistakenly thought so for some reason, now that I look at it…”

Yan Yunqing sized Adrain up and down, “You really are not alike at all.”

Adrain: “Is that so?”

He was thoughtful: “Can I ask, what is your relationship with him?”

Yan Yunqing was surprised, he didn’t expect a person of Adrain’s character to get to the bottom of things, he pondered for a moment, vaguely describing: “Both friend and enemy.”

“We once walked a journey side by side, but later found that we had always been opposed to each other.”

Adrain was in a trance for a moment, “I see… then what happened later? Do you still have contact now?”

“… No contact.” Yan Yunqing said coldly, “He has been killed by me.”

Adrain: …

The originally relaxed atmosphere solidified again, even the young man who came to deliver the wine carefully didn’t dare to make a sound, for fear that these two people who seemed to be arguing would start fighting and smash their tavern.

He knew that drinking so much wine would easily cause trouble! If only he hadn’t been greedy for that little tip QAQ

Yan Yunqing didn’t want to continue talking, and Adrain continued to drink one mouthful after another, fortunately he wasn’t drinking as fiercely as he was just now, and his Adam’s apple also had obvious movements.

Time passed little by little, and Yan Yunqing felt a little restless, he looked at the time on the system panel, Lillian had already sent several messages asking when he would return, and he also felt that continuing to waste time here with Adrain was not worth it.

He was just about to say that he had something to do, and then immediately get up and leave, but Adrain seemed to have predicted his thoughts, and spoke first: “I think I’ve seen you before.”

Yan Yunqing’s butt, which had just moved slightly, sat back on the chair, “Oh? How come I don’t have any impression?”

How was that possible? This image of his was just created, and his original image had nothing to do with this Edward mage.

Adrain: “In my dreams.”

Yan Yunqing tactically leaned back, he savored this sentence, and belatedly reacted: Wait… wasn’t this guy flirting with him?

Yan Yunqing, who had been confessed to by all the dependents when he used to play “Demon King”, had experienced countless Shura fields, and he had become somewhat desensitized to this kind of thing, so that he couldn’t even judge Adrain’s true intentions.

But to say to someone “I’ve seen you in my dreams before”, wasn’t this similar in nature to what Jia Baoyu said to Lin Daiyu, “This younger sister, I’ve seen her before”?

Yan Yunqing put Lin Daiyu’s image on himself, and put Jia Baoyu’s playful and unruly image on Adrain… No, no, too eye-piercing!

McEiss! McEiss!

“That should just be your illusion.” Yan Yunqing said casually, “The person I seem to have seen somewhere before’ belongs to one of the three major illusions in life, you are obviously caught in this illusion.”

“Your senses have deceived you, because we met at the city gate, and just happened to meet in the corridor of the inn, so you have an illusion, you think we have met before.”

“But this is just a coincidence.”

Adrain was caught in Yan Yunqing’s reasoning, “Is, is that so?”

Yan Yunqing was very sure: “Yes.”

He didn’t know what General Sawyer’s Hobby was, he could develop a favorable impression even with him in this gloomy mage image that looked very gloomy, was he also a pervert?

Yan Yunqing, who was very self-aware of his frequency of encountering perverts, speculated in this way.

Adrain fell into deep thought.

He did feel that this mage in front of him gave him a very familiar feeling, but it wasn’t referring to his appearance.

The Sawyer family, where Adrain belonged, had always been stationed on the border between Bato Vita and the Underworld, he had lived there since he was a child, and had picked up a sword almost from the time he could walk, ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

And in the year he was five years old, the border line was almost breached by The monster once, all of his clansmen took up weapons and rushed to the front line to fight, only he and a few other young children in the clan were left in the base camp.

At that time, he didn’t know which squad was broken through on the left flank, and several The monster rushed into the Sawyer family’s base camp. One of Adrain’s clan sisters led all the children to flee, and Adrain also followed among them.

He carried the wooden sword that he had never left since he was a child, and was protected by his clan sister to run into a collapsed ruin. The The monster were very Mind to the aura of humans, and for some reason let go of the other refugees they passed on the way, and chased after them relentlessly.

In order to protect them, the clan sister rushed out alone, wanting to lure away the The monster, but angered it.

In front of Adrain’s eyes, the clan sister was torn to pieces, and warm blood splashed on his face. He seemed to be frightened at that time, and completely lost consciousness.

When he regained consciousness again, he had already returned home, and the child who had fled with him told him that at that time, he had killed the The monster with a wooden sword, looking extremely terrifying.

The clansmen in the family originally thought this was incredible, but Adrain measured out a swordsman talent that was unparalleled at this time, and in the end this matter was attributed to Adrain seeing the death of his clan sister, which stimulated his latent talent.

From then on, Adrain’s name as a genius swordsman spread, and he lived up to expectations and rose all the way, becoming one of the youngest great swordsmen.

It was also from that day on that he was always in the same dream, in the dream there was a person with an unclear face talking to him, he couldn’t hear what that person was saying, but he could feel the bursts of joy coming from the bottom of his heart.

Adrain had never felt that anyone gave him a very familiar feeling before, not even when he saw the black-robed mage from afar at the city gate, he didn’t feel any familiarity, so he turned around and left.

And when he was sitting on the bed in the room, preparing to rest for a while, his heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, he walked to the door by instinct, opened the door, and when he saw the black-robed mage up close, his heart contracted frantically, and his mind buzzed.

It seemed that a voice was screaming loudly: It’s him! The person you have been looking for, it’s him!

Adrain couldn’t restrain himself, and focused his gaze on this person whose face he couldn’t see, that feeling of familiarity didn’t let the other person leave even when he understood the other person’s implied meaning, but pestered the adult like an ignorant child for a piece of candy.

Finally.

Adrain picked up the wine jug, hiding the slightly raised corners of his mouth behind the wine jug.

He had successfully gotten that sweet candy.

“Maybe I really got it wrong.” Adrain said, “You shouldn’t be from the capital city, right? Where do you plan to go next?”

Yan Yunqing didn’t expect the topic to change so quickly, he hesitated for a moment, “I’m really not from the capital city… actually I’m looking for my younger brother.”

He briefly told Adrain the story he had made up for Edward’s identity, “I don’t think my younger brother is dead, he’s just waiting for me to go find him in some corner of this continent, so I’m now traveling while practicing the alchemy blueprints left by my teacher, while looking for my younger brother.”

Adrain suddenly realized: “No wonder… you have so much money.”

Yan Yunqing choked, what kind of way of picking up the conversation was this? He couldn’t quite understand it?

“Uh… it’s okay? Because my teacher spent his whole life studying alchemy, and didn’t marry or have children, so he gave all his property to me.”

Adrain nodded, as if concerned, “Then you have to be careful, many cunning swindlers like to swindle people like you, they will first get closer to you, then ask you to come out for a drink together, and then make you pay for the expensive wine.”

Yan Yunqing: … Are you talking about yourself?

He admitted the second half, but the first half about being cunning… forgive him for speaking bluntly, General Sawyer in front of him looked more like a slightly Stupid nerve disease than a cunning swindler.

Adrain didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he said at all, because that’s how the elders at home had told him before he came out, he was just repeating the original words.

“If you are too kind and treat everyone’s approach with sincerity, you will get hurt.” Adrain said reasonably.

Yan Yunqing was shocked to find that Adrain was actually speaking very seriously.

He typed a string of ellipses, and wanted to say to Adrain: No, you are the one who is easily deceived, and you might even count money for the swindler after being sold.

Yan Yunqing endured it again and again, and after hearing Adrain’s rambling again, he chose to leave decisively.

He stood up, “Sorry, I remembered that I still have something to do next, you can continue to drink here, believe me, the gold coins I prepaid to the tavern are enough for you to drink here for another three days and three nights.”

Yan Yunqing experienced the joy of standing tall for a long time, even if the other party was sitting and he was standing, “Then, I’ll leave first.”

This time Adrain didn’t continue to stop him, but nodded and said to him: “Then see you tomorrow morning.”

Yan Yunqing choked, when did he say that he would see him tomorrow morning?

But he really didn’t want to continue to stay here to listen to Adrain’s rambling that was even more Long-winded than an old man’s, he turned around and left, pretending not to have heard Adrain’s sentence of see you tomorrow morning.

He snorted in his heart, you might not even be able to find me tomorrow morning.

Yan Yunqing said to the young man who was busy at the bar, “Is the money I paid before still enough?”

When the young man saw him, he quickly stopped wiping the glasses in his hand and replied, “It’s completely enough, sir, there’s even a lot left over.”

Yan Yunqing nodded, “If that table over there orders anything else, you can deduct it from that bag of money, and the rest will be your tip.”

The young man’s eyes lit up immediately, this tip was too much, even if the scarred swordsman in the corner could drink more, how much could he drink? He couldn’t really drink all the wine in their tavern like a bottomless pit, right?

Then the rest would all be his!

“Thank you so much, great mage!” The young man was unspeakably excited, “Praise the Goddess of Light! May the Goddess of Light bless you!”

Yan Yunqing’s steps, which were preparing to leave, paused, “… I don’t believe in the Goddess of Light.”

The young man immediately changed his words: “Okay, great Merlin is above, may Merlin bless you!”

Could a mage still refuse Merlin’s blessing?

Yan Yunqing was speechless: … Never mind.
